Chrysanthemum Douluo Asked Me to Become His Disciple

Lu Fan nodded.

He knew just how deep Chrysanthemum Douluo's love for flowers ran.

Simply eating an Immortal Herb was enough to leave Chrysanthemum Douluo unable to stop himself.

Not to mention that Lu Fan's Martial Soul was an Immortal Herb itself.

With that in mind, Lu Fan directly revealed his Spirit Rings.

One yellow and one purple Spirit Ring of different colors appeared beneath his feet.

Upon seeing that thousand-year second ring, even Gui Mei, who had been hiding in the shadows, could not help but reveal himself.

"How did you do that?!"

Both Titled Douluos stared at Lu Fan with extreme shock.

Lu Fan scratched his head. "While hunting Spirit Beasts, I came across a Golden Tree that had just reached a thousand years. Since I searched the Star Dou Great Forest for ages without finding a suitable Spirit Ring, I gritted my teeth and chose it. The process was painful, but the outcome was good. I absorbed it successfully."

Although the two found it absurd, they did not think it was entirely impossible.

While the Golden Tree was not low in quality, it clearly could not compare to the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

As an Immortal Herb, it was perfectly normal for the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to suppress plant-type Spirit Beasts. With a little luck, a thousand-year second ring really might not have been impossible.

Yue Guan looked at Lu Fan with a face full of heartache. "Didn't a teacher lead you when you went Spirit Beast hunting?"

Lu Fan nodded. "Of course there was. It was the vice dean of our Shrek Academy. At the time, he was a powerful level 68 high-level Soul Emperor."

Anger rose in Yue Guan's heart. "Did a level 68 Soul Emperor not even know the maximum Spirit Ring age a Soul Master could endure? He actually agreed to let you risk your life!"

Lu Fan scratched his head awkwardly. "It was my own choice too. Besides, he checked at the time. He only let me do it because my physical condition was strong enough to withstand it."

Yue Guan did not wish to say anything more.

After all, what was done was done. At least the result was good.

With the small talk over, Yue Guan decided to state the purpose of his visit directly.

He summoned his Martial Soul. A Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum that looked extremely similar to the one in Lu Fan's hand appeared in his palm, except it was entirely golden and metallic.

"Look, our Martial Souls are of the same kind. Like yours, my Martial Soul is also the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."

"Unfortunately, when I was young, I had no senior to guide me and took the wrong path. My Martial Soul Mutation was incomplete to begin with, and later I failed to absorb the correct Spirit Rings. Otherwise, I might not be stuck at level 95 now."

As he said this, a trace of loneliness appeared on Yue Guan's face.

However, when he raised his head to look at Lu Fan, the loneliness in his eyes vanished, replaced by fervor.

"Child, are you willing to take me as your master? Not only has your Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum mutated completely, but the Spirit Rings you chose are all extremely suitable. As long as you agree to become my disciple, when you break through to Titled Douluo in the future, I would be willing to risk my life to obtain a 100,000-year Spirit Ring for you!"

After Yue Guan finished speaking, he looked at Lu Fan expectantly.

Lu Fan hesitated upon hearing this.

He actually wanted to take Yue Guan as his master as well.

But he had to be wary of both Tang San and Tang Hao, as well as that lunatic Bibi Dong.

"This... but I already have teachers."

Lu Fan spoke hesitantly.

Yet Yue Guan said indifferently, "So what if you have teachers? Can they guide your cultivation in terms of your Martial Soul? They cannot, right?"

Lu Fan nodded.

That was the truth.

Whether it was Flender, Zhao Wuji, or the other teachers of Shrek Academy, none of them could really teach him much regarding Martial Souls.

Yue Guan smiled. "But I can. On the Douluo Continent, the relationship between master and disciple is anything but ordinary. Still, you were young and ignorant, deceived into following the wrong people. So it does not matter if you change your mind. They are simply incapable of giving you anything better."

"But the dean and the others have treated me quite well..."

Lu Fan was still conflicted.

"Since they have treated you well, they should be even less willing to stop you from pursuing a better future."

"When your cultivation reaches Soul Douluo, will they still be able to help you hunt down the most suitable Spirit Rings? Even if they can barely manage it, what about when you break through to Titled Douluo?"

"That is only one point."

"I have looked into your academy. It is merely some unaccredited backwater academy, without even a Mimicry Cultivation Environment."

"As long as you are willing to become my disciple, I can give you a Mimicry Cultivation Environment that will increase your cultivation speed by at least fifty percent."

"Moreover, I can give you suitable medicinal treasures that will help you improve without harming your body."

"You ate Whale Rubber because your Martial Soul Mutation has some side effects, right?"

As he spoke, Yue Guan took out a flower somewhat resembling a Sun Flower and held it out before Lu Fan.

"Eating this flower can help you resolve the flaws in your body. This is also something they cannot give you."

"Even if you are unwilling to become my disciple, that is fine. You only need to cultivate under me."

Yue Guan was truly incredibly sincere.

It could be said that he had brought out everything he had to offer.

Seeing Yue Guan like this, Lu Fan felt somewhat moved.

He had not expected a Titled Douluo who had been famous for so long to go this far for him.

Though he was still conflicted,

when he thought of Spirit Hall's reputation, Lu Fan felt that he could not refuse.

Perhaps Chrysanthemum Douluo would not do anything to him, but if that lunatic Bibi Dong found out, she might not spare his life.

After thinking for a moment,

Lu Fan solemnly bowed to Yue Guan before him. "This disciple greets Master."

At once, Yue Guan beamed with joy and hurriedly helped Lu Fan up. "Good child, good child."

"Congratulations."

Seeing his close friend gain a successor, Gui Mei was sincerely happy for him.

"Xiao Fan, what level is your Soul Power now?"

Yue Guan asked.

"Reporting to Master, my Soul Power is currently level 27."

Lu Fan answered truthfully.

Yue Guan nodded. "That is wonderful. You are level 27 before even turning ten. Perhaps you can break through to Soul Ancestor by the next Soul Master Tournament. When the time comes, I will definitely get you a spot as an official disciple of a Martial Soul Academy. You might even compete in the tournament after that. By then, you may have already broken through to Soul Emperor!"

Yue Guan sounded rather excited as he said this.

After all, the highest cultivation level in past Soul Master Tournaments had only been Soul King.

If his disciple could become a Soul Emperor, it would be an immense honor.

However, Lu Fan said, "Um, this disciple wants to participate in the Soul Master Tournament five years from now as a disciple of Shrek Academy."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei both frowned. "Xiao Fan, Shrek Academy is not a high-level Soul Master Academy. It is not qualified to participate."

"What if they obtain the qualifications to participate later?"

Lu Fan pressed.

"This..."

Yue Guan did not know what to say.

Lu Fan continued, "I know what Master is thinking, but Shrek Academy has nurtured me for so long. My two Spirit Rings were both obtained with their help, and I am the only person at Shrek Academy with a Mimicry Cultivation Environment. They have truly treated me well, and I want to do something to repay them."
